"Got around the VB part. Adapted your rotation scheme a little bit."

"David, Thank you very much ! This is exactly what I wanted to do ! I thought it would not be possible to do this without vb components. I'll have to take the time to fully understand  your GH file, but it looks really great ! For your…"

"Pretty impressive. I was worried about the complexity of the algorithm and whether it was do-able in GH. -- David Rutten david@mcneel.com Poprad, Slovakia"

"came back to this briefly and made a couple of quick changes...rotated the points on each alternate concentric circle and added in a little weaverbird laplacian smoothing.  In there is a type-neutral vb component for matching each object in a…"

"...here's the def"

"well...this certainly doesn't use any sort of rigorous method, but I think the results should at least get you started.  I was curious about how this process  might work...the trick I think is to set up concentric rings around each…"

"David, I actually don't. Those meshing methods are proposed in Robot Structural Analysis (Autodesk), the  software I use at work to design structures (FEA software). I know their name, but I don't have access t the theory behind…"

"Would you happen to have a link to Kang/Coons meshing, I can't find anything online about it. -- David Rutten david@mcneel.com Poprad, Slovakia"

"OK, I found it : Cull Duplicates, with "Leave One" option."

"Thank you Hannes ! This is exactly what I was looking for. One more question : To create my mesh, I start from an edgce curve, which I divide into segments (like in you example). Then I create the surface from the edge curve, and I populate it…"

"This is pretty rough but should get you there. Just cull all the mesh faces, that are outside your region. "Outside" determined by position of the face centroid."

"Thanks, I'll have a look at this too."

"Try http://funclib.codeplex.com/ whats a cool any easy going one. It has the FuncLib.Optimization.Ipopt.IpoptOptimize implemented, which solves very robust and fast. You can not only define to solve to min max, but also applying Constrains. "

"Thank Chris, It works."

"I think you have to flatten the inputs to the cross reference component or don't use the cross reference component and graft one of the inputs into the CCX component."
